Samsung’s Galaxy Rings will be more accurate than Galaxy Watches in terms of health tracking
As the world is facing various health-related issues, such as pandemics, health-tracking devices have become an essential thing for one’s well-being. In the past few years, these health-tracking devices have gained a lot of popularity among users. The Korean firm has two health-essential lineups- Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Fit. Now, Samsung is working on another health-tracking device, the Galaxy Ring. Let’s know more about it.
As per the reports, the South Korean tech conglomerate Samsung is currently working on the development of the future Galaxy Ring device. They are also developing various health-tracking technologies for this upcoming health-tracking Galaxy device. It is said that this upcoming device will deliver more accurate and detailed health-related results than Samsung’s existing Galaxy Watch devices.
Let us inform you the in-question Galaxy Ring will feature PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensor and ECG (Electrocardiogram) sensor so that the device can track its wearer’s heart activity. As it will be a ring, it will cover the wearer’s finger from all sides, which makes its results even more accurate. However, as it is more accurate than Galaxy Watches, it will surely leave a negative impact on Galaxy Watches’ sales.
Informatively, in February 2023, the South Korean firm filed a trademark named KIPRIS (Korea Intellectual Property Information Search) for the Galaxy Ring, which probably indicated that the company would take some time to showcase this new device. Unfortunately, we haven’t found any specific information regarding Galaxy Ring’s launch timing. Aside from Samsung, the iPhone-parent Apple is also working on smart rings.
It will be really interesting to see whether Samsung succeeds in launching a different and more advanced smart ring device than the existing ones or not. As these rings will not have any screen, the Korean firm may get into a partnership with luxury brands such as Thom Browne to hand over the costlier Galaxy Rings to premium customers. This new health-tracking device will surely benefit the users once they arrive on the market.
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ has expanded the power bank family by introducing two brand new power banks with a new design language, and finally, both are available in the United States.
Samsung initially introduced these two new power banks in its home country, South Korea, back in March 2024. Both power banks feature a different battery capacity.
- 10,000mAh with 25W support
- 20,000mAh with 45W support
You can grab the new 25W, 10,000mAh Wireless Battery Pack (EB-U2510) from Samsung for $44.99. On the other hand, the 45W 20,000mAh Battery Pack (EB-P4520) is priced at $29.99. This time, the Korean giant has offered a one-color option for both power banks, which is a ‘beige” color. The giant has added four LEDs for status indication on both power banks, and has received UL certification for safety.
In the United States, interested parties can easily buy them from Samsung.com. The 25W, 10,000mAh Wireless Battery Pack has two USB Type-C ports for charging other devices, as well as a battery pack. While connecting one device, it maxes out at 25W of power. If you use two USB Type-C ports together, the power output drops to 15W and 10W for the two ports, respectively.
When you use both USB Type-C ports and wireless charging, the power output drops to 10W + 10W + 5W. It comes with a USB Type-C to USB Type-C 3X charging cable.
Jumping on the 45W 20,000mAh Battery Pack, it features three USB Type-C ports and can reach a maximum power output of 45W. It has the power to charge three devices together at 15W each, and it arrives bundled with a 5A USB Type-C charging cable.

Samsung has bigger plans to expand its smart wearable family beyond expectations, as Galaxy Glasses are next in line.
Samsung, apart from the forthcoming sixth-generation foldable Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 Galaxy Ringdevices, which are supposed to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked Event 2024 in July, is also busy expanding the wearable area by debuting a brand new smart glasses.
Back in 2023, Samsung had already trademarked the name for its smart glasses, Galaxy Glasses, from which reports regarding this are blowing. And now the recent reports are unveiling that Samsung has now filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization for its smart glasses.
It is being speculated by Patently Apple that the patent displays the potential design of smart glasses by Samsung along with its charging case. Although the design of the glasses does not appear to be too different from the usual spectacles, For more details, the patent reveals some technical details about it.
The patent is revealing that the lenses are housed in their default place, but the left rim of them has magnetic connection points that will permit the glasses to charge while placed on their cover. The batteries are placed at each temple tip. Curiously, the patent makes no mention of cameras or sensors—components generally expected in XR devices.
Probably the patent will focus simply on the physical design. Samsung might file separate subsequent patents covering the more complex technical aspects of an invention. For now, nothing more has been revealed; the patent only reveals some insights, and it’s too early to say if Samsung will launch this product.
However, Samsung has not unveiled anything regarding the smartphone officially yet, but it is expected that some news from Tipster and the brand will get revealed soon.
